My 73 has a seat belt pressure switch under the passenger front seat, it was already unplugged when I pulled the seat to get the broadcast sheet. My guess is, like your saying is that’s it’s annoying and easily defeated. Ill
Weird GM guy here, actually I’m a collector and enthusiast for all unique and special cars. I have a very eclectic collection of cars and my driving passion is for survivor cars. I promise you I know what this means. My desire was to show the car as…. As found and as preserved but I’ll go ahead and show a few shots since it seems to be a sticking point with many. Here are a couple pictures of it as found and a couple of in progress shots. I was cut off at 10
We can just disagree if you don’t see what this car is and what it will be when done. The reason I didn’t post pictures is exactly for the comment you just made. This car has virtually every component it left the factory with(they all survived till now). It has never been wrecked(it has all original metal it left the factory with). It has never had a paint job other than very sloppy primer on it( the paint survived and hopefully the majority of the primer will come off). It has had zero rust repair. The entire original and it has survived till today and will clean up exceptionally. If that isn’t a survivor in your eyes….. well I just say, read the 1st sentence of my reply again. I’ll end with this…. I’m a buyer for just about any car that is found in condition so please PM what’s out there, especially desirable ones
Probably better to think before speaking.... Ever heard of MCACN? might want to check them out and look at their survivor class and the cars in it.... just sayin!!
More like it should have been 14 paragraphs, instead of one gigantic one.
We definitely don’t have the dry climate you do. Any muscle car that SURVIVED its whole life with its original exhaust wasn’t abused for sureI can see how you cleaned up that passenger seat compared to how it was "found". Well done.
That Florida moisture sure got to it. Coat of surface rust on everything is deceiving in pictures. Different that road salt caused rust.
The car looks fairly un-abused, but just lousy storage. Seems like it just wasn't stored in an enclosed garage.
.......do.
An actual car guy!!!! I knew there were some here, much appreciated Thanks Mike
I'm liking everything I see here, but I have a question. I don't see an outside mirror on the passenger door. Has it been removed or was the car not optioned with one? I'm not at all well versed on the '73 & '74 B bodies.
Good observation, it is equipped with dual sport mirrors. When I bought it, that was one of the items that was taken off of the car along with the grill, headlight bezels, antenna etc. All of those original parts came with the car and have been re-installed with the exception of the antenna. I just haven't gotten to it yet as I'm debating on how I will deal with the paint preservation, antennas are no fun to work around and since it was off I figured it could wait till I made a final decision.
Yes, I came to a car forum to learn specific knowledge about B bodies that I didn't have. It was suggested to me in one of my other threads about me trying to learn answers I didn't know to start a build thread. That was not my intention in coming here but I thought others would have an interest in a very rare B Body I have. Unfortunately, a couple of supposedly grown adults, you included are more interested in acting like high school girls when a new girl comes to their school and she isn't in their "click" I'm a car guy and not a little girl, my feeling don't get hurt if something isn't exactly what I want it to be. If I don't like something or someone, I don't feel the need to act like a spoiled 15 years girl, I just go on with my day. I know several die hard MOPAR guys and I'm not sure what the "Mopar layout" is but I came here to interact about B Bodies with car guys that have knowledge and appreciation of them, not have petty conversations about hot water heaters in my house or be told what a survivor is by someone who doesn't have a clue what one is. Like it or not, I really don't care and if no one wants to interact with me about cars and specifically B Bodies I'm in the wrong place. Don't get me wrong or twist what I'm saying either, I'm grateful to have found numerous answers to questions I didn't know the answer and Thankful the administrators have put forth a forum for these answers to be easily found. Maybe you should try to provide something knowledgeable or insightful with your time here, it might improve this thread. If this thread is a waste of your time, I would think you would not be here, pretty simple solution. enough crap already... cant this just be about the cars as in the actual car.
